"implausible"; various instructions work differently in AM24 and AM31, much less AM64. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

That is a semantics issue. What do you suggest calling a module that has been built on MVS 3.8j, using 32-bit registers for both data and addresses, and works fine as AM24, and then has been taken to z/OS and the "PDS" utility has been used to mark it as AM64, and the program runs fine, regardless of what AMODE it has been set to?
